Vitality score
Vitality score 43.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).
Better served than 7 % of the 2,400 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ST-CLAUDE MATOUBA_SAPC weather station, 2.1 km away at 650 m; the village itself is at 499 m. [9]
The village sits 151 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 7.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 90 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BASSE-TERRE CONSEIL REGIONAL, 4.2 km away at 125 m, over 12 summers. [9]
That station sits 374 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.97 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 4,107 mm of rain a year, spread over 264 days — about 15.6 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST-CLAUDE PARNASSE, 1.1 km away at 643 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
